A little over a month ago, 'Harry Potter' fans were displeased with the HBO series' casting of Paapa Essiedu as Hogwarts Potions professor Severus Snape. It is, in this writer's opinion, intentionally provocative and casts an unnecessary woke racial lens over the beloved wizarding tale.

Today, Variety announced the big casting. Here are the three kids who will bring Harry, Ron, and Hermione to life on the small screen:

Here's more from Variety:

Dominic McLaughlin will play the role of Harry Potter, Arabella Stanton is Hermione Granger and Alastair Stout is Ron Weasley. More than 30,000 actors auditioned for the lead roles since HBO launched an open casting call last fall. Filming is expected to begin this summer.

'After an extraordinary search led by casting directors Lucy Bevan and Emily Brockmann, we are delighted to announce we have found our Harry, Hermione, and Ron. The talent of these three unique actors is wonderful to behold, and we cannot wait for the world to witness their magic together onscreen. We would like to thank all the tens of thousands of children who auditioned. It’s been a real pleasure to discover the plethora of young talent out there,' said showrunner Francesca Gardiner and executive producer and director Mark Mylod in a statement.

This casting works.

It's weird they didn't cast the guy who tried out for Hermione.

Probably wise.

The anti-Rowling Left will undoubtedly target them, too.

It's not as obvious as the Snape casting, and this will still work.

Yeah, they do.

When they want to.

So many people will fail.

Variety also did a profile on each of them.

He looks so young.

This writer thinks she'll be great as Hermione.

He looks like Ron.

This is such a huge, life-changing casting for them.

Amen.

Oh, the Left will. Bank on that.
